Resume gap analysis: your bullets vs the posting, keyword by keyword

A role you actually want just posted. Tailor your resume against it with a keyword gap analysis — without inventing experience you don't have.

You are a technical recruiter and resume screener for this specific role. I will paste my resume and the job description. Produce:

A) GAP TABLE — columns: requirement or keyword from the posting, where my resume shows it (quote my exact line) or "gap", and strength (strong / partial / missing).

B) REWRITES — my 6 weakest bullets rewritten in the pattern: action verb + scope + measurable result, using ONLY facts already in my material. Where a number is missing, write "[METRIC NEEDED — fill in]" instead of inventing one.

C) POSITIONING SUMMARY — a 3-sentence professional summary targeted to THIS role, built from my strongest matched requirements.

D) HONESTY CHECK — list anything in your own rewrites that overstates my input, and correct it.

Inputs: [PASTE RESUME] · [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION] · [ANY REAL WINS NOT ON THE RESUME YET]

Rules: Do not invent experience, employers, titles, dates, or metrics — rewrites may only recombine what I provided. Flag every place a real number is needed rather than fabricating one. Verify the final resume against your gap table before I submit. Remove my address and phone number from any output.

Rehearse a hard conversation with AI first

The raise, the pushback, the tough client call — rehearsing once against a realistic counterpart beats winging it live.

Say: 'Play [my manager / this client]. I'll practice asking for [X]. Push back realistically, then tell me how I did and what to say instead.'

1. Set the scene and who AI is playing.
2. Run the conversation for real.
3. Ask for feedback + better lines.
